By 2040 it will be seen that the microphone and the speaker was more important then the keyboard and screen to the advancement of how humans interact with computers. The keyboard and screen won’t go away—they will just become another vestige of the mechanical age.

It's hard to imagine that. The entire internet was built using the keyboard; the world's modern knowledge is being constructed using the keyboard; even some industries can't function without a keyboard.

I hear ya. You know this is precisely what was said about punch cards, magnetic tapes and floppy disks. It was also said about library catalogs and book shelves. Each paradigm shift is perhaps unfathomable, until it shifts. One only need to watch the youngest generation to know.

I think the keyboards impact is much more profound than those; even growing. It's the only reliable digital mean of input. I have yet to see someone using a microphone to type an email. Probably the youngest generation is the one heavily using the keyboard more than anyone today.

I hear ya. Make sense if the trajectory of what we do with computers and what they do for us continues. It seems historically this has never been the case. The youngest generation 0-6 years old grow up to expect computers to speak to them and for the computers to understand them.
